Presenting a remarkable example of the Swiss Arms Waffenfabrik BERN K31 Bolt Action Rifle, an exceptional blend of Swiss precision, history, and aesthetics. A 1951 model, this piece is an intriguing acquisition for military firearm collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike. It's in excellent condition, expertly maintained, with barely any signs of use or handling. This sale includes the K31 ID Tag, a stripper clip, a Waffenfabrik Bayonet, a 6 rd mag, and a Hoppe's Protecto Hard Case.
The K31 is a unique combination of craftsmanship and innovation. Its straight-pull bolt-action design allows for faster reloading, setting it apart from the traditional turn-bolt action. Chambered in 7.5x55mm Swiss caliber, it offers potent punch and long-range capability. The blued finish and glossy walnut stock with metal buttplate and fullered handguard contribute to its appealing aesthetic. Notably, this K31 was originally issued to a motorcar driver, Muller Joachim, in Heavy Artillery, 2nd Battalion, indicating that it likely never experienced combat.
This is confirmed by the near mint condition of the rifle, making it a pristine piece of history.
Aside from its historical significance, the K31 also offers practical value. Its 6+1 capacity and 25.65" barrel length make it an excellent choice for sport shooting or big game hunting. Its rear adjustable leaf U notch and front adjustable drift shrouded blade ensure accuracy. The ID tag of the soldier, identifying details and serial numbers add to the authenticity and unique appeal of this item.

Experience the precision, quality, and history encapsulated in this fine piece of Swiss engineering. Make it yours today!
